I’m don’t want you to tell “W” that he is a lesser person… I’m just trying to point out that doormen have a *limited* role to play in the scheme of a neighborhood. If the doormen disappeared in all of the buildings, the impact would be primarily on the well-heeled folks that “depend” on their services. I’m glad “W” does a great job. But to lionize his position and say he is an “integral” part of the the New York street “ballet” and that, basically, the neighborhood would collapse without “W” and other doormen… well, that’s silly talk.

Yes, Snappy. The others don’t seem to understand this point. LOL

Ringo: Ding ding ding ding!!!! You get the prize!!!! This greedy little grub gets a $3 million payday and the ENTIRETY OF BROOKLYN gets a shittier project. So thanks assholes. Thanks for protesting so this guy can get paid. Thanks for the marches and the letter writing campaigns. Thanks for giving us half of the project that we would otherwise get and thanks for giving this guy a payday for it.

I’ll never fault Goldstein for pushing for a big settlement amount…we’d all do the same. Agreeing to any sort of a gag order, however, makes me question whether or not he had motives for fighting this so-called good fight outside of financial ones.
